You can move with it, yes. I believe that it evolved from the modern pistol stance, rolling the shoulders and all that. It is extremely stable and is the stance I use for room clearing and other CQB tasks.
As far as moving around, that has more to do with your footwork for stability than your arms. Of course, they are involved, but not as much as you would think. Footwork is the big deal when it comes to CQB stability, outside of the marksmanship fundamentals. Don't cross your feet and all that. Rolling your feet along the outside edge is the ideal when it comes to stability. As long as you watch your breathing and trigger squeeze you will be alright.
I know it looks a bit unnatural, but with a bit of practice, most people find that it is VERY stable and ideal for controlling burst fire or rapid semi-auto fire. With your supporting arm locked, the rifle is extremely stable. It took about two weeks for me to get used to, but having used it for a while now, I'll never switch over for CQB tasks.
